but mine is in black. It's not cheap looking and has survived a lot of knocks and drops. It went flying just today out of my hand and bounced along the tiled floor in the kitchen. That along with screen protectors and it's protected my iphone well.

That does look nice. I've seen some protectors that look 'gummy' and not very attractive. Also seen some that look like hard case, whilst being very slim but think that these may not 'bounce' and resist shock as well as the silicone ones.

I know what you mean. I've had a lot of cases for my old 3G & 3GS. This one definitely is the best. It's not soft but enough to cushion a fall. It's not that stupid rubber either that attracts dust & dirt.

As I say it is chunky but I prefer that as on it's own the iphone 4 is so slippery! It kept sliding out of my hand - this has a great grip. The fact that it has a screen protector built in is what sold it for us. I was always worried about breaking the screen.

I bought an iBand for my husbands ipod touch (second one as he dropped and smashed the first) - it is much more robust than the silicone cases I looked at and leaves the front and back open. There are cheaper ones on ebay...
